FOR 


Entered  according  to  j^ct  of  Congress  in  the  year  1866,  by  McLOUGHLIN  BROS. 
In  the  Clerk's  Office  of  the  District  Court  of  the  United  States  for  the  Southern  District  of  New  York 


MM  ITTLE   Robin   he   came   in, 

When   thickly   fell   the   snow; 
And,   while   the   cold   it   lasted, 

He   never   cared   to   go. 
So   friendly  did   he   get, 

I   thought   that  he  would   stay; 
But,   when   the   summer   came, 

Little   Robin   fleAV   away. 


Once,  a  little  merry  pig, 
Said,  "  he'd  like  to  dance  a  jig." 
When  a  tune  I  did  play, 
The  saucy  pig,  he  ran  away. 


Hi !  hi !  Johnny  Jerkey, 
Come  wake  up  quick, 
And  see  if  the  Turkey 
.  Can  swallow  a  brick, 


Do   you  know  that  little   Willie, 
One  day  was   so   very  silly, 
As   to   whip   his"   little   Kitty — 
Then  she   scratched   him — 

What  a  pity.

HIS  is  little  Mary, 

That  likes  to   be   at  play, 
Gathering   the   daisies, 

And   rolling  in   the   hay; 
And   who   wishes   summer 
Would  never  go   away. 


Two   and  two   are  four, 

Not   any   less   nor   any   more; 

Three   and  three   are   only   six, 

If  they're  apples,   cakes,   or  brick's: 

Four   and   four   are   eight, 

As  I  count  them  on  my  slate; 

Five   and   five   are   ten, 

So   says   my   slate   again. 


When  you  are  angry,  then  you  are  bad, 
When  you  are  good,  then  I  am  glad.

HIS  is  good  Master  Poole, 
Who   hastens   to   school, 

Reading  his  book  by  the  way; 
He  never  is  idle, 
Like  Tom  and   Dick  Bridle, 

Who  kneel  down  at  marbles  to  play.   • 


"Good  morning,  Sir  Snail," 
Said  a  merry  Bee; 

"  How  long  is  your  tail  ? 
Pray  can  you  tell  me." 


Sing,   tea-kettle   sing, 
So   merrily  for   me ; 

Soon  the  bell  will  ring, 
To  call  us  all  to  tea. 


- 


Let's  go   skating !    Come  along ! 
You  may  go  skating  if  you're  strong. 
If  you're  weak,  go  home  and  stay, 
Skating  is  no   easy  play. 


¥ 


OOK  at  little   Annie, 

Swinging  from  the   tree; 
Not   a   bit   of  fear 

About   her   seems   to   be. 
"  Swing   away,"   she   cries, 

u  I   don't   care   how   high ; " 
Now   down   on   to   the   ground, 

Now   up   into   the   sky. 


The   shovel   and   tongs   to   the   fire   belong, 

To   play   with  them   is   very   wrong; 

For  I  knew  a  little  girl  that  hardly  could  lisp, 

Who  went  near  the  fire  and  was  burnt  to  a  crisp. 


Strawberries   are   very   sweet, 
Strawberries   I   love   to    eat; 
"  Strawberries,"   the  hucksters   cry, 
Who   loves   to   eat   them,   you   or   I. 


f 


HIS  is  little  Lizzy, 

And  her  little  brother, 
Who   will  scratch  and  fight, 

And  tear  at   one  another; 
Though  papa  has  brought  them 

A  pretty  little   toy, 
Thinking   it   would   please 

His  little  girl  and  boy. 


Little  Fish,   little  Fish, 

Down  in  the   sea ; 
Little   Fish,   little  Fish, 

You  can't   catch   me : 
If  I  had  a  little  hook, 

And  a  little   bait; 
I'd  catch  you  little  Fish, 

If  you'd   only   wait; 


Then  home  to  mamma, 

Fast  I   would   run; 
And  ask  her  to  cook  you, 

Until  you  were  done : 
Then  on  a  little  dish, 

Lay  you  tiny  little  Fish, 
And  then  for  my  dinner, 

I  would   eat  you. 


Now  a   smile,   and   bow   a   frown; 
Sometimes   high,   and   sometimes   low, 
Just   the   way   the   world   does   go; 
Whilst   some  within   the   middle   stand, 
And   are   the  rulers  of  the   land. 


When   a   little   boy  gets   a   new  toy, 
He   laughs   and   capers,   full   of  joy! 
And   when   a   Cat,   doth   catch   a   Mouse, 
She   carry's   it  all   'round   the   house. 


Who   has   upset   the  water   pail, 
The   little   D02;,   that   lost   his   tail 
To   pick   it   up  who   ran   out? 
An   old   Pig  with   a   long   snout. 


ANCY,  dance,  diddy,  dancy,  dance  dee, 
This  is  the  baby  of  babies  for  me , 
He's  up  in  the  morning  as  brisk  as  the  lark, 
He's  sleepy  and  peepy  before  it  is  dark; 
He  crows  in  my  face,  as  he  lies  in  my  lap, 
He  tears  out  my  hair,  and  pulls  off  my  cap ; 
He  teazes,  and  pleases,  and  gives  me  no  rest, 
Yet  he  is  the  baby  that  mamma  loves  best. 
Dancy,  dance,  diddy,  dancy,  dance  dee, 
This  is  the  baby  of  babies  for  me. 


There  was  a  Hen-hawk   in   the   air, 
And   the   old   Rooster   saw   him   there; 
The   Rooster   then   spoke   loud   and   quick, 
And  every   Hen   and   little   chick. 
What   do   you  think   they   did? 
Why   ran   with   all   their  might,  and   hid! 
The   hungry   Hawk,   then   off  he   flew, 
Without   a   little   chick   to   chew. 


ITTLE  Tiddy  Toddy 

Is  going  into  bed. 
Granny   put   her   night-dress   on, 

And  put  away  her  clothes, 
Curled   her  little   hair   up, 

And  wiped  her  little   nose. 


Boys  are  only  little  men, 
Girls  are  women  small ; 

All  were  little  children  once, 
Now  grown  old  and  tall. 


I  love  you  Mamma, 
And  love  you  best; 

But  I  love  Papa, 
And  all  the  rest. 


Butcher,   butcher!    have   you   meat, 
For  my  little   boy  to   eat; 
If  you   give   him   some   to   chew, 
He   will  play  his   drum  for  you. 


OW  the  boat,  row  the  boat, 

Over   the   sea; 
Push   it   across, 

And   send   it   to   me. 
Oh,   what   a   fine   sailor 

Willie   must   be, 
To   call   the   old   washing-tub, 

"  Over  the   sea ! " 


When   little   Tommy   broke   his   hoop, 
To  pick   it   up   he   would   not   stoop; 
But  grieved   so   much   they   all   do   say, 
They   thought   he   could   not  live   a    day. 


Saw   away   Sawyer,   saw   the   wood, 
Saw   it   as  fast  as   you   can; 

I'd  like   to   help   you   if  I   could, 
But   wait   'till   I'm   a   man. 


ITTLE   Harry   had   a   drum, 

He  wondered  whence  the  sound  did  come 
He  sat  him  down  to  find  it  out, 
Then  cut  the  parchment  round  about; 
So,  when   again  he  tried  to  play, 
All  the  sound  had  gone   away. 


Poor   little   Frank   was   crying   with   pain — 

"  Mamma,   my   tooth   is   aching   again ! " 

His   mother   replies,    "My   darling   I   doubt, 

You'll  never  know  ease,  till  you  have  that  tooth  out!" 

So,   Frank  like   a  hero,   without  more   delay, 

Went  off'  to   the   dentist  the   very   same   day; 

In  less   than   an  instant  the  tooth  is  pulled   out, 

And  good  little   Franky  is   capering  about! 

His   mother   embraces  her   darling   with  joy; 

His  father  says,   "Well  done!   You  are  a  brave  boy." 


OOK   at  little   Fanny, 

Full   of  deep   distress, 
Because   her   little   cousin 

Has   got   a   smart   new   dress. 
Oh !    my   little   Fanny, 

If  such   can   give   you   pain, 
How   many,   many   troubles 

This   world   will   then   contain. 


When  I  was  a  little  boy,  I  flew  a  little  kite, 
Now  I  am  a  big  boy,  just  for  a  soldier  right. 
When  I  was  a  little  boy,  I  think  that  I  would  cry, 
Now  I  am  a  big  boy,  I  could'nt  if  I  try. 
When  I  was  a  little  boy,  with  little  girls  I  ran, 
Soon  I  will  be  no  boy,  but  grown  to  be  a  man. 


Can   you   see   behind   you?    my   little   man; 
"Yes,   when   I   turn   around,   I   can." 


HIS  is  an   old   miser  you   here  behold, 
He  was  a  greedy,  selfish  boy,  I'm  told; 
Who   never  shared   with   other  boys, 
His   cake   or   candy,   top   or  toys : 
Now  he  is  a  man  wretched  and  lone, 
With  no  little  children  nor  any  home! 
He  lives  in  a  garret  cold  and  bare, 
Although  there  is  plenty  of  gold  there ; 
He  sits  on  an  old  chair  holding  it  fast, 
He  will  soon  die  and  leave  it  at  last. 


Hear  the   scissors  grinder's  bell, 
What  is  it?  it  tries  to   tell!  - 
"Bring  your  scissors!"   hear  it  say, 
"And   I'll   sharp   them   right   away! 
With   my   wheel   that   spins   around. 
While   it  makes  a  buzzing  sound." 


UTTERCUPS  and   daisies^ 

Are   out   in   merry   May;    - 
Let  us   to   the   meadows, 

And   cull   them   all   the   day. 
There's  violets  in  the  hedge-row, 

And   harebells  •  on   the   lea ; 
But   buttercups   and   daisies 

Bring  sweetest  thoughts  to  me. 


A  Monkey  got  up  in  the 

apple   tree, 
And  pelted  the  pippins  at 

Johnny  and  me; 
So  we  threw  up  some  sticks 

To  make  Jocko  come  down, 
But  an  apple  he  flung  with 
A  crack  on  my  crown ! 


Take  a  walk, 

And   take   a   run, 
Girls  and   Boys, 

Were  made  for  fun ! 
Talk  and   laugh, 

And   dance   and   sins: 
Till  you   hear  the 

echoes   ring.

AID   Little   Miss  Romp, 

"When  you've  done  your  tea, 
Will  you  come  in  the  garden, 

And  skip  with  me." 
"Oh,   no!    I   cannot!" 

Said  little   Miss  Prude, 
For  my   mamma   says 

"  It  is  naughty  and  rude." 


&**' 


"Daughter,"   said  a  mother  Fly, 
"Go   not   to   the   river   nigh;" 
Said   the   little   Fly, 
"  No,   mother,    dear, 
Not   I,   not  I." 
The   mother   Fly   fell   fast   asleep, 
Said  the  little  Fly,    "I'll  peep — the  water  is  not  deep," 
A  fish  popped  up  its  nose  so  brown, 
And  swallowed  little  Flyey  down.
